- ... that Vieno Simonen (pictured) was first elected to the Finnish Parliament in 1948, ten years after she was widowed with seven children? Source: [1] is the source cited in the article (it's in Finnish), but [2] is an English source that also supports the proposed hook

Created by DanCherek (talk). Self-nominated at 01:30, 11 April 2021 (UTC).
New article, long enough, well-referenced, neutrally written with no significant copyvios. The hook is cited-inline in the article and is interesting. The image used in the hook is freely licensed, used in the article, and easily discernible at 100px. A QPQ has been done by the nominator. Just a small query, this source mentions that she was elected as the chairman of the board of the North Karelian Martyrs' Association in 1949, whereas the article reports the year as 1948. So, which is correct? Is there another source which supports 1948? Ashleyyoursmile! 13:17, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Ashleyyoursmile: Thanks for the review! The 1948 date in the article is the election to Parliament, which is also given in the above link (third paragraph) and in [3] and [4]. The 1949 date is her chairing a different, non-governmental organization (the Martha organization), and I didn't include that particular detail in the article. Hope that makes sense.
